1 The demand for fine woods , " add
one of the members cf a well-known
Centre street firm , "U inoroulug ev
ery year. The finest and costlleat Is
French walnut which , by the way , Is
not French at all , but is a product of
Oriental countries. It ( trows in Per
sia , GlroasaU , and Ada Minor. Yon
have seen It In veneering upon costly
furniture , but you probacly hare no
notion how expensive It is , nor how
careful wo are to prevent waste In Its
use. Come into our work rooms , and
I will lot you see it in process of cut-
tin * . "
Ho led the way Into some exten
sive rooms , where ponderous machin
ery was revolving and heavy chains
rattling. In one room steam rose
from cracks in the floor.
"Down there , " said the gontlomtn ,
' 'la whore and valuable
a pit wp lay largo
able logs and subject thorn to the ac
tion of steam until they booomo al
most na toft as butter. Then wo take
thorn out , fasten them to uu iron beam
( hero ho led the way Into another
room ) nnd thla beam revolves around
a finely tempered kuifo , of the same
length as the log.
With each revolution a strip of wood
was shaved oil smoothly , and laid in
piles upon the iloor Ilko skins of
ioathor or shooto of paper.
' 'Erory time thla boom turns around
it movus a fraction of an inch uoirer
to the knlfo. The whole apparatus
works with extromn precision. No
printing press or weaving-machine Is
made with greater nicety. The knlfo
that ahavon off thn shoots of wood Is
rigidly immovable , and ground to a
razor-liko edge. The heavy beam
that rovolvoj with Its great load of
timber Is firmness itself , and la rcgu
latod like clockwork. The slightest
tremor In the beam or knlfo would
break and twlat the thin shoots that
you see turned oil' here with the regn
larlty aud perfection of newspapers
turned out by the prlnlinp press.
These sheets are jbout 1-120 of un
inch in thloknoaa , but frequently wo
ahavo off veneers as thin aa 175 to the
Inch. "
He lifted a corner of ono t f the
long sheets , and it Boomed to bo about
the thioknois of ordinary writing pa
per. The wood waa warm and pliable.
"It is only in this condition that
thla shaving process is possible. When
fresh from the staamplt the knlfo slips
easily through It. Wore the wood
cold and hard the process would bo
impossible. Lvon If the knlfo could
do the work , the sheets would be too
brittle , and would crumble Into small
fragments. "
"For what purpose are these ex
tremely thin sheets used ? "
"Tho veneers used npon fnrnltnro
are , as a rule , somewhat thicker than
thoao that wo are now turning off.
The thlnoat voneera are used on pic
ture frames. They are as thin na the
finest tissue paporand must bo backed
with ordinary paper attached with
paste , to prevent the glno by which
they are tastoned to the body of the
frames from showing through. Theao
vouoors are also used to n largo extent
In the aamo way that wall paper la
used for covering the walla of roomn.
Besides this , there are many other
and novel uses to which they are put.
A short time ago somebody conceived
the Idea of havlcg bualnuss cards
printed npon them , thinking that the
novelty of the material would cause
people to preserve the cards "
"D.i yon over saw logs into such
sheets ? "
"Bomolimes , but rarely , with the
more oxpenelvo wooda. Sawing In
volves a good deal of waste. For the
cheaper wiods it is sometimes more
desirable , as It is not necessary to go
through the steaming proceta when we
: so the saw , but there Is a great dif-
erence in the number of sheetr that
re turned out in that way. The most
wo can get by sawing Is twenty-five to
ho Inch. "
"What Is the value of the French
walnut ? "
"I have seen it sell as high as 82 a
> onnd. At the Paris exhibition for
878 ono burl was sold for $5,000 , and
ta weight did not exceed 2,200
pounds. "
"What Is a buil ? "
"This la a trade expression , and
means the largo and tough knots of
ixorescones like warts that grow upon
ho trunk of the tree. The French
walnut la a small tree , crooked nnd
Iwarfed in ita growth , that grows , aa
' , have stated , in Aotaatlo conntiiea ,
ts value Is confined entirely to these
urious , tough , and contorted bnmps
hat grow upon it. The trunk itself
a of little or no value. Yon have often
noticed the bingular grain that French
walnut has , if grain you call It. The
ibres and tissues seem to bo twiatod
ntothe most singular aud complicated
igures. The Intricacy of these fignroa ,
combined with their symmetry , Is ono
f the elements that dotormlnes the
alao of the French walnut burl. Color
nd aoundneaa are other elements of
alue. "
' Does the burl play the aamo 1m-
lorlant part in mahogany and other
ulnablo woods that it does In the
Trench walnut ? ' *
' Tjero are rosewood and mahogany
> nt , nullko those of French wal
nut , they are of little or no value. In
BO woods it Is the trunk of the
tree that Is prizad ; the knots are dls
carded. "
"How do other woods compare In
value with the French walnui ? "
"Next to French walnut , ubonv IB
probably the roostvaluable. . 0 ca <
ilonally n fine piece is found that
brings even a better prlco than the
French walnut. Not long ago I saw
aorao that cold fcr 8350 a ton. For a
particularly lar o piece , oven $5 a
pound might bo paid. In ebony the
main thinp la size. It Is difficult to
got largo pieooa that can ba used with
out cutting. Rosewood and mahogany
are always In dimand. The be *
mahogany is that of San Damlngo.
Next come the mahoganies of Cuba.
Honduras , Mexico and Africa. There
Is much less difference In value between
twoen different mahoganies and rose
wooda than between different spec !
mens of ebony and Ftoneh walnut.
Fair rosewood will sell in the log for
5J and 7 cents per pound , French
walnut can occasionally , if poor , be
bought as low u 3 cents per pound ,
but the finer buds wlU sell for hun
dreds of dollars. Burls worth from
$500 to $ l,000each re not rare. I
recently bought one myself (07 $1,200
and thick I shall triaka U pin on
? 3,000. Wo must bo very careful ,
however , in buying these burls , Their
valno Is often greatly losionod by the
existence of hollows , sometimes in the
very heart of the wood , thn result of
decay or tualforinathn. Thoao hol
low places are filled up by fraudulent
dealers with n substance that is rnado
to resemble the genuine wood , and
they will then sell the burls as sound.
Manure , compressed to the requisite
degree of hardness , la much used for
this purpoio. Worse oven than this
is the praotloo to which such knaves
sometimes resort of placing stones In
the hollows to InoroMO the weight , for
the burls , as I havo'already Intimated ,
are sold by the pound. This fraud Is
liable to canso serious damage to the
valuable knives that are used In cut
ting the vonoors. "
"How about our native woods ? Doyen
yon deal much In them ? "
"Yes , to some extent ; but for
choice cabinet work the foreign woods
are , of course , moro highly prliod.
Burls In ash.and maple ore plentiful
and cheap , selling for two to four cents
a pound. Black walnut burls com
mand n higher prlto ton to twelve
cents a pound but they are getting
scarce. Yes , the demand for choice
cabinet woods Is constantly Increasing ,
lu the houses that the wealthy are
now putting up , the fine wood-work
now oonatltntes n largo Item In the
expenditure. Look at those veneers
for table-covers. Those hnudsiimo
- . de
signs and this artistic ornamentation
are all mosaic work , made by piecing
together small fragments cf wood ot
different colors , or Inserting them in
the body of the largo sheet that con-
atitutos the background. To ono not
acquainted with thla work it would
look like a drawing on wood ; but turn
the shoot over aud you see the lines
run through. Yon can get thoao vo-
necra for fine tabloa ntr.lmoat unyooat.
You can got ono aa low ai $25 , and
yon can have dealgna put together at
aa high a price aa you may oaro to
p y. "
"Aro there many denlora of tuoh
wooda hi the United States ? "
"Tho number la very small , but the
buslnoBB IB largo nnd the competition
keen. Ono of our firm makes fre
quent trips to Central America nud
olaowhoro to look for rare specimens of
cabinet work. Thoto trlpa have their
attractions , but they are not infre
quently accompanied by hardships and
danger. "

Senator Logon.
Ktnsu City Journal , April 23.
Senator John A. licgan , of Illinois ,
accompanied by his wlfoand daughter ,
arrived last night on the Hannibal &
St. Joe railway from Chicago , and loft
via the Santa Fo for Now Mexico. A
Journal reporter boarded the train nt
the bridge , and promptly Introduced
hlinaolf to the dletlugutahod pnaaon-
ger , who Boomed to bo moro nnxloua
about the hand baggage of his family
than to Impart information for the
public benefit. Hla rotlconco , timid
ity , preoccupation or whatever clao It
may have boon , did not deter the
acribo from carrying out hla reaolntlon
to interview the gentleman. In pur
suance of which laudable object the
reporter waited patiently until the
senator had transferred himself aud
family to the Santa Fo sleeper , when
he again advanced on the enemy in the
following style :
"Where are you going , senator ? "
"To Now Mexico , Blr. "
' 'You are about to visit yonr cattle
ranoho In that section ? "
"No , sir ; I have no oattlo ranoho ,
xcept ono given mo by the news-
apors. Yon know they make very
wiid statements sometimes , that la
omo of thorn do. "
"I don't know what you wish to find
ut from mo , " said the senator. "If
on want mo to any anything In refer-
inco to politics , yon are wasting pro-
nmably valuable time. My visit to
Tew Mexico Is npon private Dullness.
You see that I am In good health , and
hat about takes In the situation. "
"What can you toll mo of the case
f Rook , the recusant member of the
llinois legislature ? "
"I cannot say anything of that , bo-
ausol don't know anything. "
"Is not thn liquor question the
anso of Mr. Rook's antlca ? Some of
ho papers atnto that the liquor deal
ra who are fighting the high liccnsa
mvo been influential In determining
Mr. Rook's action. "How is that ? "
"They may or may not bo the causu.
know nothing whatever concerti
ng it.
"Is It not trno , senator , that Carter
larrison'a election was duo to the
fforts of the liquor dealers ? "
"I was not Mr. Harrlnon's cam
palgn manager , and therefore can't
ay. "
"Do yon regard the political outlook
s favorable to tbo republican party in
1884 ? "
"I am am attending at this time to
my own prlvato sffilra and not paying
ny attention to politics. "
"Is there nothing else yon would
ike to say to mo , sakcd the roportci ? '
"Indeed there If , and I will eui
) race the present opportunity for say-
ng It , " and the senator smiled aa ho

"How does it perforate the moun

"There's a series of beautiful falls

Apache Indians pitched their wickiups
near this stream , and an old buck and
hla squaw , hearing the rushing waters
below , went down the natural stair
way to the stream , The old buck
seeing the trout In the bottom , made
his squaw dive for them , "
"And did she do It ? " asked Jackson ,
"You bet , for Indian bucks won't
stand foolishness. But the squaw
didn't como up. She wont clear under
that mountain and carne out 'tothor

"Did It drown her ! " said Jackiou.
